Heading to Jordan!

Lots happening: two of my home demolition cases have gone to court this week, taught the Bedouin teachers on Tuesday, I was detained briefly at a border with a friend on Sunday, stuck for a few minutes in the cavernous checkpoint at Bethlehem on Tuesday, gave a presentation to the Rotary club of Jerusalem, taught rabbis about blogs :), got to see the church of the Nativity in Bethlehem, went to the Galilee and Nazareth last weekend..... so many stories to tell... but it will have to wait, because I am packing up to spend the weekend in Petra, Jordan.

I am loving my time here so much, and learning more than I thought possible.

PS - On the alert: government sent out a notice that homes in Silwan will be demolished in the next 48 hours (please no), my heart aches.

I started this blog in 2008 as a way to share my experience living in South Africa as a Rotary Ambassadorial Scholar. Over the years it has morphed into a way to keep in touch with my amazing friends and family, who are always on my mind (no matter how far away!), and a way to keep track of some of the photos and stories from this amazing adventure of a life. Lots of love to all who read!
